Time to Leave San Francisco [en]

[fr] Il est bientôt temps pour moi de quitter San Francisco! Départ dimanche en fin d'après-midi, et arrivée lundi dans la journée en Suisse.

There we are. Five weeks have flown by, and it’s time to start packing my possessions to leave [San Francisco](http://flickr.com/photos/bunny/collections/72157600492975814/). I stopped at a clearance place this morning for some last-minute shopping — oh my god! dresses (fancy, cocktail or party) for $29, skirts for $12… I’m afraid I went a bit overboard. I’ll have to do some serious cupboard-emptying when I get home.

An Afternoon in San Francisco 1

If you want to say goodbye (or hi!) to me before I leave (assuming you’re not going to be at [WordCamp](http://2007.wordcamp.org/) tomorrow please come and join us for some [Chaat from 7pm to 10pm](http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/220135/) (or maybe earlier if we decide to move to [Taylor’s Refresher where the WordCamp people will be](http://photomatt.net/2007/07/19/wordcamp-events-friday/) — I know it’s a bit of a clash). We should be about a dozen people or so — a human-sized gathering.

Thanks to everybody who contributed to make my stay here pleasant. I really had a nice time. I regret not having the time to see everybody or do everything — life tends to be like that for me. I guess it means I’ll have to come again.

I have to say, though, that I’m looking forward to seeing [Bagha](http://flickr.com/photos/bunny/collections/72157600210295068/) again — and my beloved [Lausanne](http://flickr.com/photos/bunny/collections/72157600210597000/).

**Update:** I guess [nobody will be surprised by this](http://climbtothestars.org/archives/2007/07/09/against-splitting-the-bill/), but [we will use Stowe’s “bank” system](http://www.stoweboyd.com/ambivalence/2007/07/the-bank-the-on.html) to settle the bill. Please bring some cash as it makes things more practical.

Bye-Bye India… Already [en]

Leaving India.

I’m back in Bombay, my stomach is healed, and I have a little more than twenty-four hours left in India. My cellphone number in India is now dead (“You need at least 20Rs credit for roaming, Madam, so you need to recharge. Minimum recharge is 345Rs.”) and although I’d really love to hang around a bit longer, I’m missing my cat too much — so I decided to confirm my flight after all and go home.

You’ll see the rest of the photos, videos, and the backlog once I’m back in Switzerland.

It was lovely being here. I’ll be back. As soon as I can.

Preparing for Departure [en]

Leaving in a week to spend a month in India.

In a week from now I’ll be on my plane to India. A bit apprehensive, as I was last time.

As always with unpredictable India, I have no idea how much I’ll be posting from there, and how often I’ll get to check my e-mail. It might be pretty often. It might be every couple of days. It might be once a week.

I’ll be staying over there for four weeks (Mumbai, Pune, Delhi, in particular), and finally meeting Anita, who courageously volunteered to come and pick me up at the airport.
